Please find below a summary of gems that caught my attention by the end of 2019. I hope you will find my selection of insights useful.

Exploring

“We are surfers exploring the present, riding waves generated in the past and curious what will arise in the future. (Fixed it for you.)” — @AnthonyLawlor

Working
